slashbooking

<p><strong>SlashBooking</strong> turns any WordPress page into a self-service appointment funnel. A visitor picks a service, sees the available slots in real time, and books in under a minute. You receive an email alert and confirm or decline in one click — no need to log in to WordPress, no third-party SaaS, no recurring fees.</p>
<p>It is a self-hosted scheduling tool: your data stays in your WordPress database.</p>
<h4>Main features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Public booking form via shortcode</strong> — A single <code>[slashbooking]</code> in any page. Multiple services, date picker, real-time slots, customer form, fully responsive.</li>
<li><strong>One-click email confirmation</strong> — Every request arrives with two buttons, <em>Confirm</em> and <em>Decline</em>. No WordPress login required. The action links are signed with HMAC-SHA256 and cannot be forged.</li>
<li><strong>Smart buffers around appointments</strong> — Configure padding (travel, prep) between appointments. Applied automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Multi-slot opening hours</strong> — Monday 9–12 + 14–18, Tuesday morning only, Wednesday off… Each day and each service is configured independently.</li>
<li><strong>Transactional emails with .ics</strong> — Confirmation, decline and acknowledgement emails, each with an automatic <code>.ics</code> attachment so the customer adds the appointment to their calendar in one click.</li>
<li><strong>Built-in GDPR compliance</strong> — Explicit consent before submission, WP_Privacy exporters/erasers, configurable retention, automatic anonymisation.</li>
<li><strong>Built-in anti-spam</strong> — Honeypot and per-IP rate limiting, with no third-party service and no external request.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who it is for</h4>
<ul>
<li>Freelancers and small businesses who want a self-hosted scheduling page</li>
<li>Agencies packaging a website with a booking funnel</li>
<li>Any business where “book a slot” opens the customer journey</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin is fully self-contained. It makes no calls to any external or third-party service and sends no data off your site — every request is handled on your own WordPress installation.</p>
<h3>Source code and build</h3>
<p>The full, human-readable source code is public and maintained at:</p>
<p>https://github.com/ArchSeraphin/slashbooking-lite</p>
<p>The PHP runs unmodified from <code>src/</code>. The admin interface bundle<br />
(<code>assets/dist/index.jsx.js</code> and <code>.css</code>) is compiled from the React/SCSS sources<br />
in <code>src/Admin/react-app/src/</code>, which ship inside the plugin ZIP as well.</p>
<p>To regenerate the compiled admin assets:</p>
<pre><code>npm install
npm run build   (uses @wordpress/scripts — webpack/Babel; outputs to assets/dist/)
</code></pre>
<p>The Composer autoloader in <code>vendor/</code> is generated with <code>composer install --no-dev</code>.</p>

<h4>Vik Booking for WordPress</h4>
<p>The famous Booking Engine and PMS online software for accommodations is now available also for WordPress as a native Plugin!</p>
<p>If you are looking for a reliable reservation system for a Hotel, B&B, Villa, Apartments, Hostel or any similar accommodation, then you have found the right plugin. In fact, Vik Booking is a <strong>PCI-DSS</strong> and <strong>OpenTravel</strong> compliant hotel & vacation rental Booking Engine used by thousands of properties every day.</p>
<p>This is the <strong>free</strong> version of the plugin, but you can upgrade to the <strong>Pro</strong> version at any time from your <em>wp-admin</em> section. Experience the power of a true and internal Booking Engine that competes with the best ones of the world!</p>
<p>The <strong>Pro</strong> version is compatible with <em>Vik Channel Manager</em>, the first and only native Channel Manager for WordPress, listed as a Premier Partner of <strong>Booking.com</strong> since 2018 among the top 20 systems worldwide. <strong>Full API</strong> connections available with the most famous OTAs such as <strong>Airbnb</strong>, <strong>Expedia</strong> and <strong>Google Hotel</strong> for their new Free Booking Links! Beware of “fake” Channel Manager plugins that only offer unreliable iCal synchronizations with no private access to the OTA’s APIs.</p>
<p>Vik Booking was born in 2010 for a different web-software (CMS) than WordPress, and that’s how it became famous.
